HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bilberry Fruit Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 16, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains a single active ingredient: bilberry fruit glycerite liquid extract. Bilberry is a small blue fruit sometimes called European blueberry, and this extract concentrates its compounds in a liquid form.

The product also contains two inactive ingredients — glycerin (which keeps the liquid stable) and chocolate flavor.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Bilberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Bilberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for bilberry's usefulness is limited and mixed. Night vision shows a "possibly ineffective" rating — meaning studies don't back up the traditional claim that bilberry sharpens your sight.

For age-related macular degeneration (AMD), age-related cognitive decline, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't. If any of these conditions matter to you, talk with your doctor about whether bilberry is worth trying.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bilberry

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Bilberry fruit is generally well tolerated when eaten as food, but concentrated supplements like this one have limited long-term safety data. The most common side effects are dark-colored stools, flatulence, and stomach discomfort — in fact, about one-third of people in one small trial reported mild-to-moderate gas, and bilberry can stain your tongue and teeth dark bluish or black.

The safety data we hold advises caution with supplement doses due to the lack of long-term research. Bilberry is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bilberry

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Bilberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 275 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel) — bilberry may increase bleeding risk. Also verify if you're on diabetes medications, cancer drugs like erlotinib, or any medication processed through the liver pathway CYP2E1.

These are the main medication types that bilberry is known to interact with.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Bilberry extract is probably fine if you're not taking blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or certain cancer medications — but that's a big "if." Because this product interacts with a significant number of medications and the long-term safety data is sparse, check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before you start it. If you're interested in bilberry for eye health or brain function, know that the evidence supporting those uses is weak or absent.

Bilberry Fruit Glycerite Liquid Extract4 drug types · 275 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, animal, and clinical research suggest that anthocyanidin extracts from bilberry can inhibit platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, bilberry leaf or fruit extract may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that bilberry leaf extract might have blood glucose-lowering activity. Also, one small clinical trial in patients with type 2 diabetes shows that taking bilberry fruit extract 470 mg as a single dose prior to an oral glucose tolerance test lowers plasma glucose levels when compared with placebo.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Animal research shows that exposure to small concentrations of bilberry extract in drinking water for around one month increased CYP2E1 activity by 31%. However, exposure over a 2-month period did not increase CYP2E1 activity. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Erlotinib (Tarceva)

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might reduce the efficacy of erlotinib.
In vitro research suggests that bilberry fruit extract and its constituents, delphinidin and delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, inhibit the activity of erlotinib. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Bilberry Fruit Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Bilberry Fruit Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Bilberry Fruit Chocolate Flavor has a known interaction with 275 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bilberry Fruit Chocolate Flavor contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Not without checking with your doctor first. Bilberry may slow blood clotting, which could raise your bleeding risk if combined with warfarin or similar drugs. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to review your specific situation before you start.
Will bilberry help my eyesight or memory?
The evidence doesn't support bilberry for sharper vision — it's rated possibly ineffective for that. For memory and age-related decline, there isn't enough reliable research to say whether it helps. Talk with your doctor about proven options for those concerns.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people tolerate bilberry well, but you might notice dark stools, gas, or stomach discomfort. Your tongue and teeth may also stain dark blue or black. These effects are usually mild, but if they bother you, stop taking it and let your pharmacist know.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes — bilberry is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. That said, if you're pregnant or nursing, it's always good to mention any new supplement to your doctor or midwife.
How much long-term safety data is there for this product?
Not much. While bilberry as food is safe, concentrated supplements like this one don't have strong long-term safety data. That's why the caution here is to avoid supplement doses unless you've talked it through with your healthcare provider.
